I like the idea of the first task in a new country having different difficulties depending on how well you did in the previous country - it seems like a much fairer version of the Latin American version's "no flight bunching" format (and better TV to boot) - but this season really isn't grabbing me, and I can't figure out why.

Apparently TAR Norway is underway as there are several tweets with sightings in and around Oslo. This explains the sighting with a picture I found the other day from Oslo. They were probably doing some pre race footage, or perhaps the first leg was in Oslo and the tweets below are the start of the second leg.

Yep, they were doing a "test-race" - so both the participants and the crew could practice in advance.

Gardermoen airport is the airport for Oslo. I'm not sure what the National is, probably a museum?

Nationaltheatret is, as the name says, the National Theatre of Norway, but it's also the name of the second largest train station in Norway as well as one of the largest Metro stations of Oslo, but the participants were travelling with Flytoget (the Airport Express Train) to Oslo Airport Gardermoen.

My God, the Wikipedia page for this season is HORRIBLY incomplete. I know I might not get much help here, but if anyone can fill in the tasks, locations or penalties (if there are any) for the later legs, please do so.

(Yes, Peach, I know about the RFF wiki. Once the Wikipedia's updated, I'll get to work on our wiki)

One of the biggest questions I have is how there was an Intersection on Leg 8 when there were five teams racing on Leg 8. Was it a TAR Latin America 2-style Intersection?

that's because it's too difficult to get the infos from a non-English speaking countries like Norway unlike in the US version, Asia, Australia and Phil. version.

Yes, it was like the TARLA2-Intersection.

The task was the same as the gaucho-roadblock from TAR7 Leg 4 (without the 40 seconds time limit)

The final losing team had to do the task one more time before they got the clue, unlike in the TARLA2, where the final-losing team had to wait in 15 minutes before they got their next clue.

You seem knowledgeable about what took place on the race. Did you see the whole second season? If so, do you think you could lend a hand with the Amazing Race Norge 2 Wikipedia page? Even the littlest bit helps out.

Also, was the second Intersection the same as the first one? (Head 2 head)

Yes, I have seen the whole season. I can help you with the Wikipedia page.

Yes it was. They had to play a 10-minutes soccer match against each other. First they had to choose three players, so they played 5 vs 5. If it was tied (2-2 for example), then they had a penalty shootout (3 penalty each).
